ST. LOUIS - The University of Northern Iowa has determined it is unable to compete in Thursday (Dec. 30) and Saturday (Jan. 1) home women's basketball games against Evansville and Indiana State, respectively.
The games have been postponed, and the Conference office will attempt to reschedule the games, if possible.
The MVC's forfeiture/cancelation policy states that "an institution will be required to play a Conference basketball game if it has eight or more student-athletes and one or more countable coaches available. In the event an institution does not meet the minimum threshold of player/coach availability and the game cannot be rescheduled, it will be declared a "no contest." In the event an institution meets the minimum threshold of player/coach availability and elects not to play, the game will be considered a forfeit. Notably, an institution may play if it fails to meet those minimum roster standards."
Ultimate responsibility and public-facing communication regarding decisions to compete, cancel, postpone or delay MVC contests shall rest with the Conference office in collaboration with athletics administrators from the two competing institutions.
Indiana State will play at Drake Thursday night before beginning a three-game MVC homestand against Illinois State on January 7.
